People with autism spectrum disorders need services and supports, and these costs add up. Did you know that you may be able to obtain Low Intensity Support Services to help cover some of your expenses? The Low Intensity Support Service Program (LISS), previously known as Rolling Access, is a statewide program for individuals with a developmental disability. LISS program works to assist individuals with developmental disabilities improve their quality of life, remain in their own homes, increase or maintain independence and participate in their communities. The LISS objectives are met by utilizing all available resources to satisfy the individual needs and after all resources have been exhausted qualifying eligible individuals for services and supports through the LISS program. LISS is the payor of last resort. The Maryland Community Connection LISS program can be access for individuals that meet LISS eligibility requirements and live in Southern Maryland. MCC will be conducting information sessions on how to access this service, what services and supports are covered by LISS, and what other county and state resources are available for the developmentally disabled community.
The LISS information sessions are free and open to the public, regardless of the county in which you live. Maryland Community Connection encourages individuals that are in need of LISS services, parents, caregivers, advocacy groups, resource coordination, teachers, and all interested parties to attend. Light refreshments will be served.
